Series Information
The National Baseline Household Survey 2009 (NBHS) is the second national sample survey designed to provide information for all Sudan.
Abstract
The Central Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of the Sudan conducted the National Baseline Household Survey (NBHS) during May and June 2009 to assess the current living standards of the population. This nationwide effort provides detailed information on many welfare dimensions such as educational levels, access to health care, housing conditions, immunization and consumption-poverty. While this report focuses only on the consumption data, many other indicators and a few of the Millennium Development Goals can be estimated with the NBHS and that output will help the Government of National Unity to develop a Poverty Reduction Strategy and to enhance its planning and budgeting processes.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The questionnaire for the survey was designed in consultation with data users to ensure their requirements could be incorporated. A technical Working Group and a user Needs Group were set up to decide on user requirement and priorities for the survey; these group included representatives from various ministries, UN agencies and NGOs.
The questionnaire contains several modules on different themes including health, education, labor, housing, asset ownership, access to credit, economic shocks, and transfers to the household, consumption and agriculture.
A pilot questionnaire was approved by the User Needs Group on 24th November 2008. The pilot survey was carried out in December 2008, following which some changes were made to the questionnaire. Finally, after several rounds of discussion between Central Bureau of Statistics (GoNU) and SSCCSE in January and February 2009, the final questionnaire was approved in February 2009.
The questionnaire is identical in both the South and the North with the exception of two modules which were only included selectively - child malnutrition (anthropometry) in the South and income in the North.
